Sad indeed.
Sadder is how the poorly researched press articles all seem to list him as a 'Rally Driver'. I saw him compete in WRX for one season, and he was frankly average.
Rally wasn't his thing. He wasn't fast enough and lacked the range of skills a rally driver needs.
No...what he was good at was pure car control. Sliding in any and all directions under complete control...while basically being out of control in normal terms.
His thing was far less a sport, and far more just having fun doing things in a car that shouldn;t be possible while shredding tyres and generally having a bloody good time and getting paid for it.
The world needs more people who do crazy stuff..... and sadly....we got one fewer.
